TAKEN TOT DynaUtterSs
BELFAST, Ire, July pa sensation was
created here today in consequence of the
publication in several newspapers Of reports
that Hon. Patrick A. Collins Of Boston, and
his entire party had been arrested by the
government on their arrival from Glasgow.
There was, however. no truth in the reports.
The facts are that when Mr.. Collins and his
party reached Belfast they were detained in
the custom house with much formality. and
their luggage was subjected to a rigid exam
ination. Every parcel of it was unpacked
and minutely examined. Even the smalles I
handbag carried was opened and upset
When the trunks were emptied the botto ms
and sides were all sounded for the purpose
OF ascertaining whether they contained a Sc
cret chamber for smuggling goods or dyna-
mite. What made all this exasperating to
the travellers was the fact that the work was
performed by detectives and not by the reg
ular customs officials. Mr.. Collins was man
ifestly astOnished and irritated at the treat
ment to which he was subjected.
An interview was had tonight with Hon.
p. A. Collins, who Is staying at Magistrate
Hughes residence near Belfast. Mr.. Col
Inns said that he was at first inclined to treat
the matter as huge joke, but afterward
concluded the government was narrowly
watching his movements. During an ex-
tended tour Of France and Great Britain he
had never been similarly treated.
